The real question is the various dependencies that go along with each taglib.
If you bundle:
xml taglib, to use it you need xalan 2.3.1.
ant taglib, to use it you need ant, ant-launcher and ant-junit 1.6.2
etc...
And I believe there are taglibs whose dependencies we can't
distribute, e.g. the mail taglib.
So....we have no taglibs on one extreme and 'all we are allowed' on the other.
What's a valuable compromise?
